He Makes His Own Money

From Philadelphia Press
A little bit of man, not FIVE feet
high, stood ON tiptoe in front of the
cashiers window at the West End
Hotel, Long Branch, and timidly
asked him for pair of scissors
When they were handed to him he
pulled roll of national bank bills
from his coat pocket, They were in
sheet form, just as postage stamps
come, and he clipped off 500 bill
He wrote his name across its face in
the space reserved for the Presidents
autograph, and then coolly asked
Cashier Kelley to change it for him.
Mr.. Keely Accommodated this maker of
currency after carefully inspecting it
and seeing that it was a bona fde
note of a national bank in Michigan.
The little man with this enviable
power as a money maker was Mr..
Jacob Seligman. who is known
through all Michigan as "Jake," He
was the leading clothing merchant of
the State until he became banker
and railroad 6nancier, as we'll as one
of the biggest lumber merchants in
that region. He is now a millionaire,
a director in nine banks and the own.

his fortune in strange way. In or

he obtained credit for 5000 worth of
goods. He spent the S1O0 cash he
had in hiring wagon. a brass band,
and four horses, and investing in cir
culars and advertising. He made it
known that Little Jake would reach
town at a certain hour and distribute
socks and oyeralls free from his wagon
in the public square. He told me to-
day that he emptied his wagon load
to 6 throng OF people, scattering over
their heads at the same time a per-
feet cloud of dodgers stating that he
was going to sell them all sorts of
for the next month, For ff.

Original Draft of an Ancient

The fluff exterior was white and kinked in

On each occasion when the lass was seen per-

This little quadruped likewise was there q

One day it did accompany her to the knowl-

Which to every rule and precedent was reck.

Immediately whereupon the pedigog superior
Exasperated did eject the lamb from the in.

Then Mary on beholding such performance

Sufused her eyes with saline drops from

And all the pupils grew thereat tumultuous-

And speculated on the case with wild coniec.

the top of his voice: "Fire! fire! who
set the arbor on fre?" The colored

Horrible Fecklessness.
Poughkeepsie Eagle.1

roughkeepsie Eagle.]
People who have been watching
the erection of the false work at the
east shore anchorage pier at the
bridge and out in the river between
Pier 2 and s have been wonderfully
interested in the agility and what
seemed to them daredevil reckless
ness of the trained men on the job.
They have seen them crawling along
the girders and braces nearly 100 feet
high, leaping from timber to timber
or running along the narrow plank,
ing, now STOPPING over to aid in the
hoisting of timber or iron, now stand
ing on the extreme edge of the river
front of work peering down upon the
rocks and river below, or going along
hand over hand among the braces ap.
parently with as much ease and COM
fort as though moving along on terra
firma
"They are all used to that kind of
work." said General Field, of the
Union Bridge Com pany, "and have
no fear whatever. When we were
building the cantaliver over the
whirlpool rapids of Niagara, 24O feet
above the rushing waters, they were
just as daring as they were here. 1
remember when we had the job most
completed l was up there one day.
The cantaliFer arms were then with
in fifty feet of each other, and it was
decided to connect them temporarily
with plank. This plank was fifty
five feet in length, about two and a
half feet of each end resting On the
cantaliver arms. The foreman had
issued a strict order prohibiting any
of the men from crossing the plank
until it was firmly fastened at each
end, the penalty being immediate dis
missal. There had been great deal
of talk among the men as to who
would be the first one to cross. 1
was standing on the American side
looking at the structure when l saw
one of the men walk out on the plank,
look ct it minute, then look down
into the whirlpool below. I felt that
he was going to cross the plank, but l
was too far from him to make him
hear. He waited second or two,
and then deliberately walked out on
the plank, and when be reached the
middle of it he stopped over, seizing
the edges of the plank with both
hands, and, throwing his feet up, he
stood on his head and kicked his heels
and shouted to the terrified onlookers.
He must have been a..minute doing it,
but l felt as though it were half an
hour After satisfying himself that
he had kicked enough he regained his
equilibrium and then trotted along
the plank to the opposite side from
where he started, seized hold of one
of the iron braces of the cantaliYer
and went down it head first, hand
over hand. to the bottom. Of course,
the foreman discharged him and he
laid off two or three days, when l
sent for him. He was one of the
best men on the job, and l talked to
him like Dutch uncle and put him
to work again. These men have no
fear; they are brought up to the bus
mess and feel just as safe $50 feet in
the air as they do on the ground. Of
course, l can see how the people won

The Words Largest Cities.

The following information is often

cases for reference we have compiled
table of the largest cities of the
world, with their populations as stat
ed by the latest authorities. In the
absence of any official census the Chi
nese cities have simply to be estimat-
ed, and, of course, must be accepted
as an approximation only. We have
not given any city whose population
is below 5OO,O 900, although there are
many we could enumerate which
closely approach that figure. 1t will
be seen that in the 35 cities tabulated
below there are 32,510,319 souls, or
nearly the population of the British
isles, fact which cannot be grasped

Unfortunate Punctuation.

A young man wrote thus to tn
object of his affections: 81 love you
not for your fortune-it is consider
alton that never influenced me in
choosing a wife" Being unfamiliar
with the rules of punctuation, he
awkwardly inserted full stop after
the words 81 love you not," and the
young lady, in her grief, despair, and
outraged feeling, entered convent,
while her lover, after waiting in vain
for reply to his letter, became the
driver of soda-pop wagon. This is
a romance of the period, as it were,
and shows, my dears, how necessary
education in general and the study
of punctuation in particular is to the

The Scientific Housewife.

She was learn'd in all the lore
OF science, and her store
Of attachments was bewildering and grand;
She could tell you what to eat,
From cereals to meat,
And analyze all eatables of-hand.
She loved learned man
On the scientific plan,
And the couple formed a partnership for lie.
She cooks the family fare
In a way that makes him swear,
And very often leads to vulgar strife.
The meat is burned and tough,
The pastry is vile stuff,
The vegetables are always underdone;
But in baki ing wretched bread
That is heavier than lead
This scientific woman takes the bun.

The Irishman too Much for him

At certain debating society an
English doctor recently argued that
the Irish were naturally a depraved
and dishonest race. and il support of
his position he adduced his own ex-
perience. He remarked that he had
at Manchester 500 Irish patients on
his books, and out of this number
only 80 paid him his fees.
An Irishman arose when the doc
tor sat down, and said:
"Sor, there is meyer sn erect with
out cause; there is never a phe.

explanation. How, sor, can we ex-
plain the extraordinary phenomenon
to which tbs doctor has called our al
